Don't tell me you're looking for cash, women and/or alcohol (in no particular
order). Eternal gratitude is generally cheaper ;-).

Hehe! If I were to speculate, I would seriously doubt that there'll be an
equivalent of WinBoard for the UCI protocol. Whether it would be possible to add
support for UCI under WinBoard is something else. That would depend on Tim Mann
currently, which makes it rather unlikely given the time he has available AFAIK.

You'll need to ask someone who knows something about programming, ie. not me
:-). Have you asked Tim Mann for instance?

Don't hesitate to send me a version if you feel like it :-). If it's possible to
build a book as well, it would be interesting.
